Public Rights of Way (PRoW) are a valuable resource. The network provides links to services and also into the wider countryside.

The Council has a statutory duty to maintain PRoW for year round use and the Public Rights of Way Improvements and Maintenance Contract is a key mechanism in the delivery of this obligation. The Council manages just over 4,000km of PRoW in Telford and Wrekin, which include footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic.
